# Trama

> Trama is a macOS app that turns a plain-English description into an automation that runs on the user's Mac. The user presses Cmd+Option+X, types something like "When I copy text in another language, translate it to English", reviews the steps Trama builds, and switches it on. It runs in the background from the menu bar, with no code, using the AI provider the user chooses. Made for non-technical Mac users who repeat the same digital tasks every week.

Key facts:

- Platform: macOS 15.7 (Sequoia) or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. Mac only. Download: https://usetrama.com/download
- Triggers: every copy (clipboard), keyboard shortcut, selected text, schedule, new screenshot, file added to a folder, app launch/quit/focus, upcoming calendar event, incoming webhook, GitHub events.
- Outputs: clipboard, macOS notification, typed into the current app, file, Apple Notes, Apple Reminders, spoken aloud, menu bar widget, or a connected service.
- Step types: AI, HTTP request, shell script, AppleScript, JavaScript, read webpage, on-device OCR, read email from the Mail app, conditions, loops, text transforms, variables, ask the user, integrations, Claude Code / Codex.
- Integrations: Gmail, Google Calendar, Sheets, Docs and Drive, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Jira, Trello, Airtable (via their official MCP servers), Telegram, Discord, email, any HTTP API, MCP servers from the public registry (Pro) or any server by its address (Max).
- AI: bring your own. Claude Code or Codex if installed (no key), or an API key for Google Gemini (free tier), Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq or any OpenAI-compatible server, including local models (Ollama, LM Studio). AI calls go straight from the Mac to the provider, never through Trama's servers.
- Privacy: automations are saved and run on the Mac. Only integration steps pass through Trama's servers; Trama keeps content-free run records. Sign-in with Google or GitHub.
- Safety: shell and AppleScript steps are classified by risk; anything that writes, sends data or deletes is previewed and needs the user's approval; dangerous commands are always refused.
- Pricing (USD): Free — 3 active automations, 150 integration steps/day. Pro — $10/month or $96/year, 15 active automations, 600 integration steps/day. Max — $18/month or $168/year, unlimited. Runs on the Mac are unlimited on every plan.
- Limits: runs only while the Mac is on and awake; the app interface is in English (the AI can answer and work in Portuguese, Spanish and other languages).
